Can someone please tell me in a nutshell that I can easily understand what has been going on with JK Rowling over the last few months. I dont have Twitter, but have seem lots of references about it on here. TIA :-)

She has been targeted by trans activists who think she’s transphobic for questioning self-Id, the medical transitioning of trans kids and supporting Maya Forstater.

Here, best to read it on her own words

I think it’s kicked off again today as she has written a (Fiction) book about a cross-dressing killer, which obviously means she denies the right of trans people to exist.

Actually, all the frothing about the book is pretty much over nothing according to a journalist who read a preview copy. It's tricky to copy and paste from the article but the gist is a killer disguised himself using a wig and woman's coat to approach a victim in a cold case.

Well, it all started because she had the audacity to tell the world that... Wait for it... Women have periods faints 😱😱 and now the haters are watching her every move and basically finding anything at all, even the most mundane thing, and using it as a stick to beat her with.

What she said was very mild and fair.

Their reaction on the other hand had been overblown, misogynistic and violent.

In all my years on the Internet I’ve never seen women behave as abusively as this. It’s almost as if they’re men.
